Been havin' a ball since I was a boy in Beaumont
I love that town but I just couldn't stay
Two stepped all the way to Amarillo
Shuffled my way into Santa Fe
I just had to see the sunset out in Frisco
The Golden Gate is great
But it ain't home, give me a rodeo
Blame it on Texas, don't blame it on me
I am what I am and that's what I'm gonna be
You can say what you wanna say about my insanity
Blame it on Texas, don't blame it on me
Met a girl out in eastern Oklahoma
Her daddy was a Tulsa millionaire
With miles and miles of oil wells he'd leave her
Well, all a man could want was waitin' there
But one night while she lay sleepin' I slipped away
Like no man in his right mind would do
Call me a fool
Blame it on Texas, don't blame it on me
I am what I am and that's what I'm gonna be
You can say what you wanna say about my insanity
Blame it on Texas, don't blame it on me
